Where Stillness Grows: An Evening Celebrating San Diego’s Iconic Senior Dance Artists in a Fundraising Night to Gather and Give is a special community evening hosted by Mounarath Powell Dance on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This exclusive event brings together artists, supporters, and community members and is designed to honor and uplift senior artists, providing a platform for them to continue sharing their work while fostering connection across generations.
Doors open at 6:30pm and guests are encouraged to wear their best black and gold outfits and will enjoy silent auctions, raffle prizes, and light bites throughout the evening. The evenings live entertainment will begin at 7:30pm and the raffle and auction winners will be announced after.
The event serves as a vital fundraiser supporting Mounarath Powell Dance’s professional adult company and broader mission. With over 30 years of experience in arts education and performance, the organization offers programs for youth and adults, including inclusive dance opportunities, pre-professional training, and community-based classes. Attendees and supporters can additionally contribute through monetary donations through our online campaign.

Mounarath Powell Dance has a rich history of collaborating and partnering with local, national, and international artists and provides opportunities and a platform for artistic expression. MPD has served as a hub that brings together multidisciplinary artists and has commissioned work from many established and emerging choreographers and directors.
Mounarath Powell Dance also extends beyond the stage with free masterclasses and most recently a free day of dance that was open to a wider range of ages and experience levels. Under the MPD umbrella, we also offer the Arts4Us program. This inclusive dance class offers adults with developmental disabilities and adults of all abilities a welcoming space to move, express, and connect through dance.
Mounarath Powell Dance believes the performing arts, whether on or off stage, is for all and with your support we can continue to share our vision.
